The Fargo Republican discovers that
the anti-divisionists have at least ac-
complished something in the way of
good. Ii the Republican is correct that
faction is responsible for the passage of
the local option bill. Here Is the story:
A bit of history of interest is the fact
that the passage Of the local option law
IN its present form by the recent legis-
lature was the work of the anti-divisIon-
lists. The bill passed the house by q
| large majority. In the council it was
amended so as to exclude incorporated
| cities from its provisions. At the same
time bill was pending in the council
providing for the submission of the
question of division to the vote of the
people. The anti-divisionists opposed
the bill hotly, and the divisionists, il
order to recruit their forces, COM
promised with the anti-diyisionists who
favored local option and agreed to
pass both bills, the local option bill as
it came from the house, making no ex-
ception Of incorporated cities. Had it
not been for the opposition to the divIs-
ion bill from She north, the local option
bill would not have become law
L
Its provisions incorporated cities. There
is no moral to this. 1t is statement OF
facts.
From this circumstance it will not be
fair to infer that the divisionists are op-
posed to prohibItory measures. On the
contrary the best known leaders in the di-
vision and sonth Dakota statehood move.
ment are among the strongest workers
in the prohibition field. In support OF
this statement We need bnt quote such
names as Theo d. Kanouse, John Z.
Owen, General Campbell. Judge Edger.

the commissioner only talked the
louder and threatened to suspend ali
surveys. He extended the suspension
to cover large tracts oi
land in the DEVILS Lake country,
and seeing no signs of relief the con-
tractors and settlers carried the case to
the secretary. The decision rendered
by him directing Sparks to 60 on with
these surveys, is brief and to the point.
1t does not argue the Indian question
with MIR. Sparks, nor does it consider
possible fraud in the surveys. It plain
ly intimates that the Indian title, by
reason of occupation, 10 too remote to
stand in the way OF public policy, and
that Mr., Teller's reasons for returning
this surplus land to the public domain
is sufficient for all reasonable minds. As
Secretary Muldrow says, tract OF
country as large as the state OF Delaware
is therefore opened TO public settlement
and can be immediately surveyed foi
public occupancy.

office to approve of the contract of 81,
@. Green for the survey of q portion OF

if found to be regular, and to order its
performance, practically settles the
question OF the right of settlers to about
100000 acres of valuable land now
claimed by the Chippewas. The band
now numbers less than 300. Secretary
Lamar IS of the opinion that the claim
OF this band is too vague to warrant th,
ousting OF the 10000 settlers who nave
located thereon; that if they have valit
claim, congress should be called upor
to settle it.

Of the trouble of the trees was caused
by the singing fly.
Mr.. Donald asked if any one could
tell him why it was that he could
not raise perfect plums. He said he
had tried several different modes,
but they would always have worms
in them
Mr.. Ward then said that the mis-
chief was caused by the curculio,
which ascended from the ground in
the shape of fly just at the time
the plum was forming. 1t stings
the young fruit and inserts an egg
in the hole made by its stinger It
then dies. The egg hatches out a
worm, which feeds upon the grow
ing plum, and when it is about half
grown the begins to wither, the stem
to shrink and the plum falls to the
ground The worm then crawls
down into the earth, and the next
spring comes up as fly to repeat
the operation. Remedy-keep the
ground under the trees clean and
the earth hard, and allow chickens
and hogs to eat the fruit as it falls.
The subject of fertilizers was re-
sumed Mr.. Garvis said that if pigs
were kept in pens the manure thus
saved, if used to tertilize corn, would
pay for feeding the pigs.
Mr.. Coe told way to preserve
chicken manure. Compel the chick
ems to roost in closed shed or old
corn crib which has no floor The
chickens droppings should be cover
ed with dirt very often, say every
few days, and when the droppings
and earth become, say foot thick,
remove the whole into compost
heap in shed, and remove it to the
land when wanted. Never put
ashes with it, for ashes decompose
it by dissi pating the ammonia, which
is its principal ingredient, and which
the dirt retains.

mittee OF two was raised whose duty
it should be to call upon the express

ROOT PRUNING.

Root-pruning may be an unnatur-
al and reprehensibIe practice, and
according to some writer's ia now
almost obsolete, but there are excep-
tional cases when it answers the
purpose ofinducing fruitfulnes4 when
other devices have failed. Particu-
larly is this the case with dwarf
apples, which in some instances
grow vigorously but refuse to bear,
caused, perhaps, by the formation
of roots above the dwarf stock. a
decrease of vigor is essential to an
increase Of fruit-bearing spurs, SO
that it is necessary to open a trench
around the specimen, short dis
tance from the body of the tree,
cutting off all the roots that show.
This operation must be performed
whilst the plant is in a state Of rest
Summer pinching also assists IN the
formation of fruit-spurs and the two
systems taken together will accom-
plish the desired end. d.-Josidh Hopes
